Hello!
I'm bound to start Tamiya's F-16C Block 25/32 in a few days, as soon as the weather gets a bit warmer.
As underlined in many reviews, this kit has two faults: no seatbelts and canopy seam line.
I would remove the latter by scratching, sanding it with 1000 grit sandpaper and polish it... but there are different versions of Tamiya's Compound: which one shall I use?
Thanks for any answer and have a nice day!

I guess you mean polishing compound. I've only tried to do this once and used some old smokers' toothpaste! I'm not at home now but I remember it has a strange name - Eu something and is a powder which I wouldn't choose to brush my teeth with! Sorry to be so vague.It worked very well
And no,I don't smoke.
Cheers

I assume you mean the three Compounds that Tamiya have in their range. It's just like sandpaper - coarse, fine and finish. Technically all three are meant to be used in succession to achieve a smooth shiny surface, and it works well too. I use them for the final polish finish on model cars, however i often don't use the coarse Compound, just the 2 finer ones.

A few years back there was just one only that was simply called Tamiya Compound. I still ahve some and i'd say it compares to the Fine Compound in the current range.

For the line in the canopy i'd probably use the three compounds in turn like their meant to be. Though my recomendation for clear parts is still micromesh pads used in order of coarse to finest. Polishing aircraft canopies is exactly what micromesh is used for in real life...and one of the reasons the occasional kit goes missing from work.
